Best Mini PC under $1,500 for a DevOps Engineer? Looking for long-term recommendations.
You will need to do your due diligence on 32GB builds. Some like the Geekom A9 Max begin shipping with 1x 32GB stick. Single channel mode can easily reduce processing and graphics performance by up to 40%. Purchasing the missing/matching stick can easily break a $1500 USD budget. The Mac Mini M4 Pro

Should I get the Beelink SER5 MAX?
As a heads up I've had a few friends with returned Geekom minis like the A8 after finding disappointing performance.

Geekom A9 Max Mini-PC im Test: Der neue Ryzen-AI-Chip bleibt hinter seinen Möglichkeiten
Thanks for the post! 32GB single channel memory with Gorgon Point Ryzen AI 400 series/Strix Point "refresh" at $1800 USD without a competitive 64GB dual channel auction seems counterproductive at this point. A matching stick of Crucial 32GB 5600 is currently pushing 400 bucks from reputable sources.

Geekom A9 Max HX 470 as my work PC that also plays Cyberpunk on weekends
There's not a big advantage here what the exception of the XDNA NPU between this and my GMKtec K8 Plus. Mine shipped with a single 32GB stick, not 2x16GB. Free slot for a cheap upgrade later, but out of the box you're running single channel. Single channel memory can easily kill processing and graph

If the base m4 mac mini can’t run good LLMs locally, why is it the one completely oos everywhere?
Even the cheapest APU mini PC you can find with HX370 and 32GB RAM is the Geekom A9 max costs $1300. Strix Halo is waaaay above that.
